CR proton (top) and electron (bottom) ionisation rates as a function of the minimum particle energy considered for the CR spectra shown in Fig. 7. Values were averaged over the CMZ volume and compared to the estimated values of ionisation rates derived by different observational methods (horizontal black line and shaded region).
